24hr Countdown to Oct 4 Pokémon Sun & Moon News

Tension is HIGH among Pokémon in the last 24 hours until the next batch of Pokémon Sun & Moon news and for good reason: we still don’t know what Rowlet, Litten and Popplio will evolve into! While not guaranteed tomorrow, many are hoping that we’ll finally get a glimpse at their evolutions. The news is set to be released at 10PM Japan Standard Time.

Of course… more new Pokémon, Alolan forms or Ultra Beasts would also be cool as well!

  1. didn´t they bring out news every week once? I thought it was a joke when they said next news on 4.10 …
    It has been hard 2 weeks but we are nearly there

  2. The internet last spring: It’s been two months! This news drought is terrible.

    The internet now: “It’s been two weeks! this news drought is terrible.”

    I can’t make too much fun though cuz I’m the exact same way xD

  3. Excited! I think it is pretty realistic to expect the starter evolution given the push in promoting them and with it being just over a month(!!!) until the release of the games. Here’s what i’m hoping for:

    Rowlet: Grass/Flying through entire line – i like the leaked robin hood style archer final evo and would love that to be the final.
    Litten: Fire until final evo when it becomes Fire/Dark. I’m indifferent about the leaked final evo but would like to see the middle stage maintain a quadrupedal form and stick solely to fire typing.
    Popplio: My favourite of the base starters but its leaked final evo is again one i am indifferent about. I would like to see Popplio become Water/Fairy typing upon evolution as it really fits especially if they go with the mermaid/siren theme. Plus it looks special so a special Water/Fairy to go alongside the physical Azumarill would be great.

    What about everyone else – last thoughts before the (likely) 2nd stage reveal?

    • I wonder if starter evolutions are going to be revealed as a “Corocoro exclusive!” this month, which means we might not see them in tomorrow’s trailer but in a trailer two weeks from now. Either way, I think it’s inevitable that we’ll see (at least) the middle forms revealed this month!

    • I agree with everything baring Popplio! The underdog will prove to be the best ^^

      Anyway, I honestly love Rowlet’s leaked final evo but I severely hope that the typingis not grass/dark. That would make it extremely… hard to use. Kinda like Tyrantrum and how it looks amazing, but its typing is lackluster. Litten better not be fire/fighting, we have way too many of those. And Popplio being a Siren is a great thing for Greek mythology enthusiasts like me

    • I really do hope Popplio’s final evo is somewhat similar to Feraligatr but flipped, as in OK stats all round, but great Sp. ATK and Sp. DEF. That would make it a threat.

  4. Here’s my two cents:
    I think the 2nd evolutions for the starters, the Ultra Beasts, and Ash Greninja are the same.
    I believe the 2nd evolution starter will be an “ultra beast” version for the starter you picked. And the 2 starters you didn’t choose will have normal evolutions.
    And I believe that the Aether foundation has discovered how to fuse with your Pokemon and have done so and created Ultra Beasts. So, on that note, you won’t be able to catch UBs but you will be able to catch the Pokemon they’re fused with.

  5. My guesses and hopes are these:
    -Starter second stage evolution
    -Sun and Moon Demo at the 3DS eShop with a Perk (like the ORAS and HGSS demos)
    -MAYBE 2 new Pokemon or Ultra Beasts
    -Since he is credible and hinted it, a new secret with the Z-Ring
    -New Alolan forms
    -Battle Tower or Battle Frontier returns in Sun and Moon

    • Answers:
      – they got to reveal the starter evolution is october and they can’t wait till november to reveal them
      – they not going to show the demo, but they it is downloadable on nintendo eshop
      – Possible the dolphin pokemon and snow man pokemon and it depend on how ultra beast are in the game, since we got 3 now
      – My guess, is Z-Formes
      – Possibly new Alolan formes
      – Maybe they’ll bring back the battle frontier, since it was leaked in the riddler leaks

  6. I’m pretty confident we’ll see their first evolutions sometime this month, as we are now in a time where Sun and Moon will be released NEXT MONTH!!

  7. They will not let us play a demo. They’ve only done that with remakes. This is a whole new gen.
    Furthermore, I think this will be one of the bigger announcements, since it’s after a “news drought” and we’re getting closer to release.

    • It’s just over a month (nearly 2 for some of us), I can see bigger news coming now. I’d like to play a demo, but I kind of would prefer just to wait for the actual game.

  8. I am hyped about thsee games; but did I miss the news that there aren’t going to be any new megas, or has the community just forgotten about that mechanic? like so many others of previous gens?

  9. We’ve already known their final form for ages now, it’s the most useless thing they could reveal tomorrow (that ship has sailed and sunk guys, accept it). I’m way more curious about the third legendary, but i’ll bet that’s gonna be held till last second.

    • I prefer some mid-stages to the first and last in many Pokémon, including starters, so not that useless. Plus we need to know at some point and it may reveal some info on typing.

    • We may have known the finals for a while now, but considering they weren’t revealed in any official capacity I’d say it isn’t useless. It’s not GF/TPCI are thinking “Oh well they already know about the starters. We might as well ignore them now entirely since it’s a waste.” They’ve gotta show them off eventually no matter what.
